Mother...first drawing...

Look what I dug up. This is the very first drawing I ever did of Mother when I got back to Wildstorm in 2001. I don't think we ever got around to using it. I'm in the process right now of coloring it. Maybe use it in the trade. It is a picture of Mother in the core of the Waering Mainframe (the one she thinks is her long dead mommy) this is right before she dies in there...notice how she is connected to the mainframe...

Batman is done...

Just a quick note...I finally finished my very last page of Batman and it is on its merry way to Rich Friend on a Fed Ex plane. My blood sugars messing up on me all of last year kept me on the book longer than expected but going on insulin seems to really have help seeings how I did this last issue in one month. Thanx to Mike Carlin, Tom Palmer, and Andy Diggle for hanging in there with me...I know I made it a long rough ride...a sincere thanx for all of Mike's advice and patience...on to Wetworks!!!

For Rafa...

Here's that piece I promised Rafa for helping us out...thanx Dude. This as requested is Raithan. Cousin to the Blood Queen. So yes his veins flow with royal blood. If my mini story gets approved in full (I hear it is just a matter of scheduling, fingers crossed) that point will become very important indeed to the future of the Nation. Interesting how this character came about, a long time ago during a Chicago CON we were assigned bodygaurds...the guy assigned to me was a black belt and says he did some stunt work as a Ninja Turtle for the live action movies. Real nice guy, honorable and everything, really into the philosophy of Martial arts and all, so when I needed a noble cousin to the Queen that was a respected warrior I thought of this guy. So Raithan's basic looks are that guy except he had long blond hair. Lost contact with him but heard he went on to become an instructor at Bruce Lee's dojo under Danny Inosanto...don't know if that's true but sounds about right...
